Toby Keith Tees Off for Kids With Annual Golf Tournament
Toby Keith is set to host his seventh annual Toby Keith and Friends Golf Classic, May 21-22 in Norman, Okla. Proceeds from the event will once again assist severely ill children and their families.
The Classic begins Friday night with dinner, live entertainment and silent and live auctions. Participants tee-off the next day, with the event culminating in the Ford Shootout closest-to-the-pin contest. The winner will take the wheel of a brand-new Ford F-Series pickup.
Among those joining the superstar for the Denim & Diamonds-themed event are sports figures David Wells, Kevin Gross, Tony Casillas, Rocky Calmus and Nancy Lieberman. Auction items will range from a Food Network experience with Guy Fieri on the set of 'Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives' and ESPY tickets to a SeaDream Caribbean Voyage and autographed memorabilia from musicians Carrie Underwood, Trace Adkins, Kelly Clarkson, Kris Allen and Coldplay, along with athletes Brett Favre, Steve Young, Sugar Ray Leonard, Michael Phelps and more.
The tournament, auction and dinner will benefit the Toby Keith Foundation, which is funding the OK Kids Korral, a 16-room guest lodge that will house pediatric cancer patients and their families on the grounds of Oklahoma University Medical Center. Completion of the 30,000-square-foot facility is expected in 2012.
